This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

His body is nearly turned sideways, chin lifted and grinning at the camera, resting his weight on his right elbow with his left hand clasped loosely over his resting right wrist. Italicized text upon this propaganda poster reads: “RONALD REAGAN speaks out against SOCIALIZED MEDICINE”]

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the US offered to extract president Zelenskyy(actor turned president) and form a government in exile because everyone thought Ukraine would fall in mere weeks. Zelenskyy refused, stating he needed ammunition not a ride. Back then Russia was believed to have a near-peer military to the US.

And here we are now.
